Blush Mystery Beauty Box December 2013 Spoilers

Blush's mystery beauty box is one of the latest beauty boxes to hit the market. It was such a big hit that the first box sold out in 3 hours! The Blush mystery beauty box usually includes skin care, hair care and make-up products that are hand-picked by their panel of beauty experts. Each Blush mystery beauty box features mostly full-size and some travel-size products that are worth at least $100. Finally, shipping is free for the Blush mystery beauty box. 

The December Blush box is now available! If you're curious about the contents of previous boxes, check out the contents of my March Blush Mystery Beauty Box.

Blush has revealed the following spoilers for the December mystery beauty box.

Skincare Stash: Moisturizers with SPF Inventory

This post is solely on my stash of moisturizers that contain SPF. I'll write separate posts for exfoliators, masks, non-SPF containing moisturizers and other skincare products. For reference, I have acne-prone, combination-oily skin. 

I would like to age gracefully, so moisturizers that contain broad-spectrum SPF have become a regular part of my morning skincare routine. I like to use moisturizers that contain SPF because that eliminates a step in my morning routine. On a side note, I am relieved to see that I am not hoarding products in this particular skincare category (unlike my ridiculous stash of cleansers, serums and eye creams).

My morning skincare step-wise routine:
1. Cleanser
2. Toner
3. Serum
4. Eye cream
5. Moisturizer with SPF

May and June 2013 Empties

I did not get around to posting my May empties, so I am combining my May and June empties into this single post. I am determined to use up my inventory of samples and full size products! I am proud to say that I have been using up significantly more products ever since my first empties post in February.

Skincare Stash: Eye Cream

This post is solely on my stash of eye creams. I'll write separate posts for exfoliators, masks, moisturizers and other skincare products. For reference, I have acne-prone combination-oily skin. 

I would like to age gracefully, so eye creams are a regular part of my skincare routine. Eye creams can address specific skin concerns in the delicate eye area such as puffiness, dark circles, fine lines, wrinkles, dehydration and lack of firmness. I favor eye creams that address puffiness and dark circles.

My morning and evening skincare step-wise routine:
1. Cleanser
2. Toner
3. Serum
4. Eye cream

February Empties

One of the topics that I enjoy the most on blogs and youtube videos are monthly "empties". It's a summary of products that folks have used up. It usually includes a brief description of the product and whether or not it is worth re-purchasing. Without further ado, here are my February empties.
